Abortedin alunperin Halloweeniksi kaavailtu keikka Dubaissa peruuntui yhden vihaisen vanhemman takia

Hollantilaisen death metal -yhtye Abortedin oli määrä esiintyä Dubaissa 31. päivä lokakuuta mutta yhtyeen keikka peruuntui ilmeisesti yhtyeen fanin vihaisen vanhemman viranomaisille kirjoittaman kirjeen takia. Yhtye on julkaissut aiheesta seuraavanlaisen viestin:

Dear fans in Dubai, it is with great sadness we have to announce that our show on halloweenis cancelled. We received notice from the promoter today that an angry parent had written the authorities about us performing and being appalled by our lyrics/themes/videos and the government decided to force the promoter to cancel and prosecute them.

Flights were booked, everything was arranged by both the promoter and us, and we arein 2015, it saddens us that these kind of practices still happen and people can not seem to understand that this music genre is about release and especially for a band like us, about fun, sure, delicious gory fun, but we all know how to take death metal lyrics, right?

We are all brothers and friends in the same cause here, and that is music, music is theone thing that binds all of us worldwide, race, gender or religion aside. We had a great time in Egypt, we have played Israel several times, Indonesia and so many places where
different cultures meet and it has never been an issue. Hopefully no other bands haveto deal with this type of situation anymore and our support goes out to the promoters and fans over there.

This is a small piece from the angry letter which was sent to the government:

’The band called Aborted and they are from Belgium, apparently they play Extreme Death Metal, I am open to all kind of Music even Heavy Metal but this Band was much more extreme, I went through there lyrics and their videos and they were nothing but disturbing, their lyrics promoting disgusting ideas like Sex with God’s, same sex, force sex and rape, sex with kids, Anal sex and other horrible similar subjects.
I couldn’t believe that someone could invite such a band to our country, our culture and traditions never supported such ideas and we should keep it this way, my son will go no where near that filthy party.’
